vs
Wiper blades MICHELIN or Motorcraft
Reviews
The motorcraft wipers I get from the parts desk at my local ford dealership are the best wipers I’ve ever put on a vehicle. They do an excellent job and last a long time. I usually only have to buy a new set every few years when I get a new windshield.
Pros: best wipers, excellent job, last long
Michelins from Costco are the best I've used yet.
Pros: best used yet
I use Michelin. Never had an issue
Pros: no issues
The Michelin blades I put on over a year ago are just now maybe starting to need to be replaced.
Pros: lasted over a year
Michelin Guardia+ blades - $7.99 each on sale at Costco - way better than OEM, way cheaper than Bosch. Even if they don’t last as long as Bosch, I can replace them 3 times as often and still save money.
Pros: better than OEM, cheaper than Bosch
Cons: may not last as long
They’re Michelin. And while they’re not fantastic or anything. They’re more than good enough, and cheap enough to swap every 6 months if needed.
Pros: more than good enough, cheap to swap
Cons: not fantastic
I purchased Michelin Optimum+ Ceramic Beam 26”/16” just the other day. I chose them because I wanted ceramic silicone and the Michelin were a great price at $15 each. After putting the “right” adapter on that fit the button hole, that’s when I found out that the Trax’s wiper arm isn’t the correct length for these blades. The space between the button hole and the end is really small whereas the bracket on the blade and the photo in the instruction pamphlet show that the space should be over 1” to accommodate most of the bracket. The blade “fit” and snapped in, but I could tell it wasn’t right. There was too much play and the arm could separate from the blade by just bending the blade. Also the Trax’s arm is curved on the bottom, fitting perfectly into the OEM blades. Michelin’s website said that the 26” blade would fit. Oddly though, it said the passenger side was 14” instead of 16”.
Pros: great price
Cons: incorrect length, too much play, arm could separate

I tried the Michelins from Costco one time. They streaked and chattered on the first use.
Cons: streaked, chattered on first use
Same here. A few years ago I thought they were a great deal. Now they are both worth installing. Just pay a bit more for another brand.
Pros: great deal
Cons: not worth installing
Mine broke in 2 months. I dont even using ot much in summer
Cons: broke in 2 months
